For more than 100 years, Goodwill has been a champion of sustainability, reducing waste and promoting the reuse of items long before it became a global priority.

Goodwill is always convenient. When you choose to shop with and donate to us, you’re actively supporting a more sustainable future, by extending the life of your belongings.

We are dedicated to minimizing landfill waste. We provide opportunities for thousands of items to be reused, repurposed or recycled. In 2024 alone, donations to Goodwill kept more than 14 million pounds of clothing and household items out of landfills in our four-state region.

What do you recycle?

  • Metal
  • Puzzles
  • Games
  • Shoes
  • Purse
  • Hats
  • Belts
  • Gloves
  • Paper

When you donate any of the above items to us, you’re playing a vital role in our mission. After your generous contributions are sold in our stores, we make sure any unsold item is thoughtfully repurposed or recycled. Your support not only helps us be a global sustainability leader but also makes a positive impact in our community. Thank you for making a difference!
